Lil' Blue Shelf

I posted a while back about new things I got, (see the post here; Score!) If you look in the back, you can see a little brown shelf. Here it is now:

Here is a picture of it before:

I really like this blue. I love blue and brown together, because who doesn't anymore, and I thought this original dark brown would be a great color to scratch into. So I painted it, then distressed it to let the brown out. I didn't realize originally, that this shelf is totally free-standing. It can of course go on a wall, but it has no trouble at all standing alone! So glad I painted the back. This project was a really fun one, and I really enjoyed the nice weather I got to work in!This item sold, but you can request something in a similar style. Unfortunately I won't likely have this exact one again! Have a great weekend!

Spice Rack Update

UPDATE:  Everyone has been asking where I got these jars, here's the link to where I ordered them from: Sunburst Bottle Company

Remember when I got those old coke bottle boxes? (See this post) Well, I got my jar order in the mail and made the switch last night. I LOVE them:

This free'd up 2 whole shelves in our cabinets. Before, I had just a shelf above the stove that held a few jars of random. I chose blue & teal over the front because I wanted color, but I wanted to keep it old looking. Next up, the kitchen! I'm aiming for the bottom half of the walls a dark turquois-ish color (beach towel), the top half probably a light teal, all with white trim. Then, a bright clover type green on the backsplash, with the bottom row of cabinets being teal, and the top half either the same teal or white. I don't know yet. Throw in yellow accents and a few vintage green shelves, and I should have a pretty colorful kitchen. Wish me luck!

Vintage Popcorn Bowl

Greatest thing ever! I saw this great popcorn bowl this weekend at a really cool thrift shop in Felton, CA.  I saw that font and immediately thought it must be from the 80's... well after I got home and researched for a bit, I saw it's from the 70's!  Very retro and cool, the font is really neat. There is apparently a collection going around of different bowls and pieces with this font on it, I will keep my eye out for more! For now, it's for sale in my shop, here are some pictures:

Wine Break

I'm back! Work got a little crazy there, but I won't go into detail because that's about as boring as actually working. Anyway, today I listed the wine rack that I started a long time ago (2 months?). Rain and space set me back a bit, but now that the sun has come out more often, I have found time here and there to sneak outside and get some work done! Here is the finished product:

I love how it came out! I considered doing another color over the top then scratching the surface to let it through.. but I was convinced to leave it as is. Here's what it was before:

This item sold, but if you like, request it or something like it and I'll keep my eye out, and let you know when I find something. Then you can pick your colors! Have a great day!
